odours were detected beyond the boundary during inspections and there were no complaints
in relation to air emissions from the site.
During the period under review, GPL demonstrated an overall high level of both
environmental performance and administrative compliance with the resource consents. There
were no unauthorised incidents recorded by the Council in relation to GPL’s activities. The

During the year, the Company demonstrated a high level of both environmental performance and
administrative compliance with the resource consents.

1.1.3 The Resource Management Act 1991 and monitoring
The RMA primarily addresses environmental ‘effects’ which are defined as positive or
adverse, temporary or permanent, past, present or future, or cumulative. Effects may
arise in relation to:
(a) the neighbourhood or the wider community around an activity, and may include
cultural and social-economic effects;
(b) physical effects on the locality, including
interpretations, and their significance for the environment.
Section 4 presents recommendations to be implemented in the 2018-2019 monitoring year.
A glossary of common abbreviations and scientific terms, and a bibliography, are presented at the end of

The RMA primarily addresses environmental ‘effects’ which are defined as positive or adverse, temporary or
permanent, past, present or future, or cumulative. Effects may arise in
consent. Ambient air quality monitoring at the site showed that levels of carbon monoxide,
combustible gases, PM10 particulates, nitrogen oxides and the volatile organic compounds benzene, toluene,
ethylbenzene and xylenes were all below levels of concern at the time of sampling. No offensive or
objectionable odours were detected beyond the boundary during inspections, and there were no
complaints in relation to air emissions from the site.
During the monitoring period, the Company demonstrated
